Sol Systems acquired the project through an RFP process executed on LevelTen Energy’s Asset Marketplace and it is part of Sol Systems’ growth strategy to scale its Impact + Infrastructure platform across the US.
“This acquisition builds on Sol Systems’ significant utility-scale footprint in Illinois” said Patty Rollin, Senior Vice President, Development at Sol Systems. “We are eager to kick-off the construction phase of the Prairie Creek project which will bring local clean energy and community opportunity to the region.”
Sol Systems will develop, own, and operate the project. Once complete, the project will produce enough solar energy annually to power over 5,000 homes and offset the equivalent of over 9,000 passenger vehicles’ emissions for one year. As long-term owner and operator, Sol Systems will work to enable local employment opportunities and additional community benefits.
"Over the last two years we have developed sites in the USA and UK totalling 1 GW” added Benjamin Davies, Co-Founder of Lightrock Power. “Our team remain focused on creating further opportunities to accelerate the transition to renewable energy.”
